Canadian novelist, poet & singer/songwriter can celebrate his 70th birthday Tuesday. A new album is due to be released Oct. 25th. I saw a 2 hour program about Cohen on one of our national TV channels (Denmark) this evening - including a Canadian documentary from '65, where Cohen (among other things) read his poetry and proved that he could probably have made a nice career as a stand-up comedian. There was also parts of a Danish talkshow from '92 included. Great stuff.I'm very happy that he's still going strong and is sending out a new album :-)
